Microsoft pushing IE7 update

It looks like Microsoft are giving a big push to get users of IE6 upgraded to IE7; the browser is included in the latest Automatic Update, and when opening IE6 this morning I was automatically redirected to a splash page promoting IE7 and encouraging me to download it. I wonder what effect this will have on market share figures (if any). Although I think this should have been done sooner, I applaud Microsoft for the effort; IE7 is far from perfect, but it’s better than IE6.
